en.Wedoany.com Reported - A previously rejected six-storey building scheme (containing 57 apartments) in Newcastle's Byker area is expected to receive approval. The scheme is located at 7-45 Lime Street, approximately a 20-minute walk from the city centre's eastern side and the riverside.

Under the plans, existing buildings will be demolished and a new four-to-six-storey building will be constructed on the site, with ground-floor commercial space. The planning permission was previously refused in November 2023 due to insufficient daylight and sunlight. The current application aims to address the daylight and sunlight issues identified by the inspector, with all other aspects of the scheme—design, scale, and massing—remaining identical to the previous proposal.

The project plans for 10 parking spaces on the ground floor, each equipped with an electric vehicle charging point; 61 bicycle parking spaces for residents, and an additional 24 parking spaces for commercial units. A loading bay is planned on Lime Street in front of the building to serve both commercial and residential properties and to accommodate refuse vehicle visits. The proposed layout will form a continuous building block with staggered heights.

The scheme will be submitted to Newcastle City Council's Planning Committee for consideration on Friday, 19 June, and is recommended for approval.
